Hi all,

I just got a GH4 and I am looking to get my first lens for it. I want a lens that it's good for landscapes and video, but isn't too wide do I can also do done video. I am fine with used lenses, and my budget is MAX $140 US, but I would prefer cheaper.

If there aren't any lenses that fit that category and price, then I'd love a good starter lens recommendation.

Thank you!

I presume you want a decent zoom range. If you can stretch your budget a bit, the Panasonic 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 fits your bill (should be around $200 used) and is weather sealed also.

Or you can find a Panasonic 14-42 II. Make sure you get the newer II version, the original one is rated quite poorly. The old 14-45mm also gets good ratings although the OIS is older.
